looks like 2 fuel lines that go to the back of the drivers side of the intake manifold. How do they come off. I dont wanna go just pulling on them

 

You can't just yank them off. Go down to Napa and get a fuel line disconnect tool set. It was only $7 or $8 for the generic plastic ones. It's pretty much just a plastic washer that can be slipped into the fuel line connections and "unlocks" the connection. What I'm saying will probably make a lot more sense when your looking at the tool.

 

Yeah....you dont wanna just go pulling on them. Go to Autozone or pepboys and get the fuel line release tools....they only cost about $5 for the whole set.

 

I got my fuel line release tools at auto/zone and they worked great!

 

well, i went and got the right tool(s) for te job, but they dont seem to be doing it I get them clipped into place, but nothings happening when I pull and ****

 

Once you have the tool in place, you need to pull on the line, the tool will not move. Hope that helps.

 

i get the tool in place as much as possible, and pull on the line. The line is loose feeling, but doesnt come off. It's taking a lot to for me to not pull as hard a possible

 

Hey I had the same problem... I pushed the fuel disconect tool in and the thing was not coming off.... Later I discover its very easy... push the tool in and then gently pull the end with increasing pull.... gently.. and it just clicks and comes off.

Once I did the first one the second one came off in less than 1 second...


Just like when you pop a cherry...errr never mind


Remember you need to push the tool in else its not gunna relase that little spring it has inside the quick disconect.

What has also worked for me is to push on the fuel lines, as if you were reconnecting them, with one hand and slide the tool up with the other

 

ive tried the last to techniques... always something small to **** up my flow on car repairs

 

I feel your pain brotha. one of my Water pump hoses is about to pop and today I was gunna fix it when I realised it has some metal cramped around it (not a clamp) that needs to be cut off with a dremmel first. I dont have a freaggin dremmel and I dont have a garage either... ALL work done parked on the street and it sucks. I hate to have people see me working on her every week or the freaggin pavement gets soo hot.. I metered at 150* farenheight one day... (with an infrared Thermometer) but its all good though.. Cant complaint. I love my car.

Try again bro... push the tool in and make sure it clicks into the Quick Disconect part... It must go in deep enough to relieve the spring inside the conetion.. then with one hand hold one side of the hose and pull the other hose with just a little wiggle motion... till it clicks apart... I think your are not pushing the tool deep enough or you are not pulling hard enough..

Once you get the first one off you will laugh at the second one...

The first time I took them off, they came off fairly easy. This past time I actually had to pull on the lines pretty hard after I had the disconnect tool in place. Just keep trying, they will come....

My front one came off in like 5 seconds. It's that back one that sucks, gotta love a motor half under the cowl.

The rubber gromets kinda get in the way, too. :blah:

 

FYI Zack, the front one is 3/8 and the back one is 5/16.

Just push the tool in all the way and keep force on it, pull the elbow off. They come off pretty easy.

 

I used the same tool for both lines !!
